It was one of those conversa- tions academics have with publishers about where they see the discipline heading. At one point I mentioned that much of my teaching at SOAS revolved around concepts and how, in my view, there was little material in IR dedicated to concepts aimed at students. When Natalie followed up a year later, I began to see the contours of a project. A successful application to the International Studies Association (ISA) for a Venture Workshop Grant on Concept Analysis enabled me to organize two workshops in Toronto and London in 2014, which eventually led to this volume. The journey was enjoyable but also hard work, and I am grateful to a number of institutions and people for their support. The ISA grant was crucial for getting the project off the ground and Laura Gottschalk helped with the organization of the Toronto workshop. At SOAS, the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences and the Department of Politics and International Studies provided financial support for the London workshop, with Nadiya Ali providing valuable assistance. My contacts at SAGE, especially Natalie, Amy Jarrold, and Katie Forsythe were fantastic to work with, as they competently and cheerfully shepherded the project towards and through the production process. Alexej Ulbricht skillfully compiled the index. And, of course, I thank the contributors for joining and believing in the project. This was a collective endeavor and I am grateful for their insights, efforts and patience during many rounds of revisions. Their chapters bring this book to life. My deepest gratitude goes to my partner Caroline, who supported me in various ways, not least by tolerating me working long hours on too many occasions. Our son Hugo was born when I started this project; now it is done and, well, he likes the cover. So I dedicate this book to him, with love. F. B.
